Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to a reconfigurable intelligent surface arbitrary beam forming method.
Background
With the rapid increase in the demand of wireless communication applications, the mobile communication spectrum is continuously expanding to high frequencies. While the bandwidth is increased, the high-frequency electromagnetic wave also has the problem of serious path loss, and coverage holes and blind areas are easy to form. In recent years, with the development of artificial electromagnetic materials, new technologies represented by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) are introduced into wireless communication. The RIS can change the transmission behavior of electromagnetic waves macroscopically by cooperatively configuring the reflection coefficients of a large number of micro reflection units, and realize various beam forming effects such as beam focusing, splitting and scattering, so that the coverage problem of high-frequency electromagnetic waves is hopefully solved to a certain extent.
The existing RIS beamforming mainly focuses on indexes such as a receiving signal-to-noise ratio of a specific user, and does not focus on the design of a beam shape in a physical space. However, in mobile communication, since the location information of the user is difficult to obtain accurately and is in a moving state, the beamforming method using the signal-to-noise ratio as an index has strong sensitivity to location error and movement, and the link robustness is poor. In some scenarios, the base station needs to transmit a wider beam for information broadcasting. The above scenarios show that it is necessary to design an arbitrary beamforming method for RIS, so that the shape, width, angle, and power of the beam can be arbitrarily adjusted to meet the requirements of various scenarios in mobile communications, and the design needs to have low complexity for fast switching of the beam. At present, only a beam forming method designed by using a frequency domain sampling method is reported in documents, but the method can achieve a certain forming effect only under special conditions of enough units, uniform beam power distribution and the like, and actual requirements are difficult to meet.

Wherein0≤n2≤N2-1. The reflection coefficient of the other half cell is given by the following equation:
and configuring the reflection coefficient of the reconfigurable intelligent surface according to the formula to finish any beam forming.
In practice, due to reasons such as manufacturing processes, the unit reflection coefficient of the reconfigurable intelligent surface can only take a limited number of values, and the common conditions and the coefficient setting method thereof are summarized as follows:
case 1: the reflection coefficient amplitude value needs to be less than or equal to 1, and both the amplitude and the phase are continuously taken.
Case 2: the reflection coefficient amplitude value needs to be less than or equal to 1, and both the amplitude and the phase can only take a plurality of discrete values.
Reflection coefficient setting method of case 2: setting the reflection coefficient to v(2)(n1,n2),v(2)(n1,n2) Of a limited number of possible values of all reflection coefficients, the distance v(1)(n1,n2) More recently.
Case 3: the reflection coefficient amplitude value is equal to 1 and the phase takes a finite number of discrete values.
Reflection coefficient setting method of case 3: setting the reflection coefficient to v(3)(n1,n2)=exp(j∠v(n1,n2) Is less than v (n)1,n2) Denotes a value of v (n)1,n2) Phase.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention can shape the reflection wave beam of the reconfigurable intelligent surface at will, has higher application flexibility, and simultaneously has extremely low calculation complexity, thereby being beneficial to the quick switching and establishment of the reflection state of the reconfigurable intelligent surface.
